I have a theory, and hear me out /vp/
Remember how difficult many of gen IV's original mons were to obtain?
Come to think of it, every gen has their fair share of 'hidden' pokemon.
If the dex wasn't released before those games, I doubt anybody would have been able to confirm Porygon, Chansey, Yanma, Dunsparce, Feebas, Bagon, Absol, Hippopotas, Gible, Spiritomb, Volcarona, Zoroark, and others?
As much as we like to consider 70 our 'magic number', there remains the possibility of new pokemon we have not yet seen from these leaks. Just look at all the empty spaces in the pokedex.
Go ahead, call me a denialfag if you'd like to be a lethargic devil
